Revise THC regulatory laws
HB 608, titled "Revise THC regulatory laws," proposed requiring Montana's Cannabis Control Division to regulate all THC-containing products, including testing, licensing, distribution, sales, and taxation. It aimed to clarify definitions for terms like "THC products," "adult-use dispensary," and "controlling beneficial owner" by amending Montana Code Annotated sections 16-12-102 and 16-12-112. The bill would have directly affected THC product businesses, dispensaries, and consumers purchasing such products. However, the bill was withdrawn on February 28, 2025, per House Rule H30-50(3)(b), before becoming law.
